It provides a vendor-neutral, unified approach to instrumenting systems, enabling developers and operations teams to monitor and troubleshoot applications effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marvel-b1-cdn.bc0a.com\/f00000000236551\/dt-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/otel-diagram.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History or Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenTelemetry was formed in 2019 under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) by merging OpenTracing and OpenCensus. The goal was to create a single, comprehensive observability standard to replace fragmented tools. It reached General Availability (GA) for tracing in 2021 and metrics in 2022, with logging support maturing by 2025. As a CNCF incubating project, it is widely adopted across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it Relevant in DevSecOps?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In DevSecOps, observability is critical for integrating security into the development lifecycle.
